Slip & Fall Accident
Morristown, New Jersey Slip and Fall Accident Attorney
Property accidents can occur on either private property or commercial
property and under all types of conditions:
- “Slip and falls” and “trip and falls”
- Falls due to improper lighting or broken stair handrails
- Falls due to snow or ice
- Trips due to potholes in the parking lots of commercial establishments like shopping malls and supermarkets
- Dog bites or animal attacks
- Injuries from broken or defective equipment at playgrounds or recreational facilities
- Assaults due to negligent or inadequate security
- Neglect of nursing home residents
Construction accidents and other workplace injuries
In any of these circumstances, the injured person may be able to take legal action to recover financial compensation for his or her injuries. Depending on the type of accident, compensation may be demanded from one’s own insurance company, the workers’ compensation system, the insurance company of the property owner, or from the government.
Accidents due to Icy Sidewalks and Parking Lots
Many people fall during the winter due to snow and ice. Our personal injury law firm has tremendous experience in representing clients who have fallen due to negligence from improper snow and ice removal, lack of salting and sanding. If you have fallen at a shopping mall, in a parking lot, on a sidewalk, or at your apartment complex, please contact our office for a free consultation.
Accident Cases Involving Slip and Falls Are Hard to Prove
Personal injury cases resulting from slip and falls can be difficult because the property owner is almost guaranteed to deny responsibility for the accident. Often, the dangerous condition that led to the accident gets fixed immediately after someone gets hurt.
One of the best things injured people can do to help their chances in cases involving slip and falls is to document the dangerous condition that caused their injuries. If possible, take photographs and ask for contact information for any witnesses to the accident.
